As we are a small staff team we buy in expertise to help us deliver our service. This reduces our costs and we can pass these on to owners, tenants and applicants. We buy in finance and maintenance services.

Finance

We purchase a finance service from FMD Financial Services who work with us on budgeting, management accounts, annual accounts and long term projections.

Maintenance

Tom Atkinson from Atkinson Partnerships assists Gardeen in carrying out technical inspections and providing advice on the procurement of contractors and consultants to help us organise the planned maintenance works that include kitchens and bathrooms.

Money/Benefits Advice

Gardeen, Blairtummock and Provanhall Housing Associations have access to an additional welfare service provided by recently appointed income advisor, Marshall Gemmell. Marshall will be providing support and advice to tenants who are worried about benefits, money and work. He will be at Gardeen Housing Association on Wednesday mornings and Friday afternoons. Please contact our offices if you would like to arrange an appointment to speak with Marshall or if you would like a home visit.

Gardeen Housing Association is a voluntary run housing association formed by residents of the Gardeen area to radically improve their previous poor housing conditions and to continue to maintain them. We are run by local residents who have a clear idea of what is needed to make Gardeen a better place to live and to deliver a quality service to tenants, owners and applicants.
